3/5
Julia's Eyes becomes a little incoherent as it plunges towards resolution, but it's unerringly stylish and whole-heartedly suspenseful along the way. Go to Full Review
Philip French Guardian 05/23/2011
A fascinating, broken-backed picture full of riveting twists and dubious psychology. Go to Full Review

Several plot twists keep us guessing, however this device is overused and the final of these is bizarre, undoing much of the work accomplished. Go to Full Review

Wendel L @BRZRKR Aug 29 Direção: Bom Atuação: Bom Roteiro: Bom Caracterização: Ok Soundtrack: Ok See more Laurian D @Laurian 08/25/2023 A good thriller which could have been much better with a more rewarding final act. Half way into the movie I was able to guess what's going on and I kept hoping that there would be a smart twist waiting to blow me away in the finale. It wasn't the case though. The movie is good though, and the final shot was clever, poetic and memorable. See more Leonard E 06/17/2022 Great thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end. The final act is when things get really good. First and second act you're wondering what exactly is going on but in a good way, movie keeps you intrigued. Surprised this movie isn't as popular, its pretty darn good. A lot better than other movies out there, not really horror or scary but great thriller. See more kyle c @kylekc 02/11/2022 This is a damn good thriller through and through. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire second half (okay not literally; I was lounging on the couch, but I was tense!). Is romance-horror a genre? Rom-hor? I'm coining it: that's what this movie is. This film does an amazing job of keeping audiences guessing. It provides just enough ambiguity to be hard to predict without succumbing to being a black-box mystery. I also love the way it portrays blindness as a life-altering tragedy but not as something to be disrespected or to make one helpless. The framing of shots from the point of view of our occasionally-mostly-blind protagonist are impressive, especially the way that characters' faces are obscured from the camera when she can't see them either. It's a very clever way to draw out the mystery. My only complaint is that it feels tropey at times, almost like a soap opera; we've got twin sisters, cheating husbands, estranged children, imposters, and mysterious physical ailments. All that's missing is for a character to come back from the dead by inhabiting another character's body! But in all seriousness, most of the twists are really really good, but near the end a few of them feel forced. Julia's Eyes is a seriously thrilling ride, even if its twists occasionally feel unnatural. For fans of horror and thrillers, especially those who can appreciate a solid romance story, this is an easy one to recommend. See more @AndyB21 03/10/2020 Overlong, contrived and melodramatic, this is okay in parts but too often feels like something lifted from an eighties slasher. See more 02/25/2019 That's just awesome See more Read all reviews
